Past Fantasy Outlooks

2018

Mikkola didn't miss a single game in his first season with the Panthers. He appeared in all 82 regular-season contests in addition to suiting up for all 24 of Florida's postseason battles en route to the Stanley Cup. Mikkola offers nothing offensively -- his 17 points last season were a new career-high -- but he's very valuable from a real-life standpoint, killing penalties and logging tough defensive minutes. The 28-year-old Finn did manage 199 hits and 124 blocks, which combined with a plus-11 rating gives him some modest fantasy value in extremely deep leagues which value such numbers.

Mikkola produced six points, 151 hits, 106 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 81 games between the Blues and the Rangers last year. He was included in the package to New York that also saw Vladimir Tarasenko end up with the Rangers, but neither player ended up being more than a rental. Mikkola will now try his luck in Florida, where the injury-ravaged Panthers blue line could certainly allow him a more advanced role early in 2023-24. The Finn is more of a physical force than a scoring threat, so don't expect him to produce enough offense to be a factor in fantasy.

Mikkola made his NHL debut in 2019-20, skating in five games and recording an assist with the Blues. He added 14 points in 48 contests with AHL San Antonio, which showed that the Finnish defenseman doesn't quite have the scoring touch necessary for everyday NHL playing time. In 2020-21, he's likely to either end up in the minors or on the Blues' taxi squad, as Robert Bortuzzo and Carl Gunnarsson are expected to share the No. 6 spot in the defense corps. Fantasy managers can avoid Miikola until he shows a bit more on the scoresheet.

Mikkola will start with the big club until Carl Gunnarsson is ready to return from offseason hip surgery. His ceiling is on the third pairing so the 22-year-old Finland native shouldn't be considered in fantasy settings.
